I wondered how well that little ghost antenna would really work. I did the 6db gain and the cheapest one they had. That way when I break the long one, I have a backup. It was only $7.99 on clearance when I ordered it. I likely don’t need the tall antenna at all for my purposes. But I wanted one...

Thanks, that was my suspicion. But I wanted to see what someone who has been there said. I’m debating where I’m mounting my mxt275. So it may/may not be accessible after install. I like the thought of under the console like was shown earlier in this thread.

I have a random GMRS install question. How necessary is it to set the SWR on them? I have a midland mxt275, with 6 meter cable, both their 6db gain antenna and the short NMO mount one they sell(forget part number right now). I know I SHOULD set the SWR, but with switching antennas based on...

Yeah, I had been checking their website and searching around online with no luck. Wasn’t even there last night that I could find. Lol

Thanks, I was trying to find it a couple days ago and couldn’t. But I don’t do FB, so that limits my research quite a bit sometimes.

Yeah it would be. I used 1/2 inch plywood. I think it’s called sand ply or something. The smoothest finish Home Depot has in stock. You would just have to run the sides of them all the way to the floor and find a way to attach them. Mine are only attached to the drawers with L brackets, then...

Thanks, we have decided to sleep in ours as well to make random weekend trips to farther places easier. Pulling/setting up camper is time consuming. That’s what started my drawers/storage/bed platform in motion. I left the bottoms of those side boxes open so I can use all the space I have...

Added some side storage to my drawers today. Trying to keep it organized as best as possible.

Welcome from your neighbor in Stratford. Was thumbing through threads this morning and saw you were close, thought I would say hi

@Bouncer is in planning stages of one in the near future over in the Oklahoma overlanders where ya at thread. He has it listed out pretty well there, that’s the only one I’ve seen around us. https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/oklahoma-overlanders-where-ya-at.3567/page-65

I do pretty much all of mine myself (unless it’s under warranty somewhere else). However, I am an ASE/Nissan master tech with 17 years experience. Not that it means I don’t get stumped, or make mistakes. just that i have WAY too much money in tools to get things done that make it easier. Plus...

you’re welcome, my issue was more of the iPad not getting enough juice than anything with the bad elf. I figure it was worth mentioning in case so you can verify that it charges/maintains while using rather than discover it doesn’t at the wrong time like I did. Lol

the one I have is a Bluetooth connection versus plugging into lightning port and charging through it. However, based on what I found with mine. If using a generic 12v to usb converter then apple lightning cable, it wouldn’t keep up with the iPad. My generic converter charged at 1.0 amps. So I...

we use both an ipad 4 as well as an ipad air (one for back up in case one dies) with a bad elf and gaia. works flawlessly, my only recommendation is to make sure you have a charging port/adapter that will charge the ipad faster than it drains with the screen lit up and on. we had that issue...

Tires! well, I technically did them a little over a week ago. I’ve been too lazy to go take a photo until today though... lol falken wildpeak mt 285/70/17

I like your plan of meet up sat morning. Makes it easier than getting out the door and there after work Friday.

@Bouncer are you planning a fri/sat night camp? Or a one night? Sorry so many questions, just trying to get a plan/info out there for myself and anyone else interested

cb is good with me, mine came in the mail yesterday. thanks for the name. I’ll take a look and see how I want to play it.

i am in. Im good with whatever weekend works for the group. It will be the wife and I. only other question I had was what comms are you running? out of curiosity, what campground is it? Just so I can do a little research. If easily accessible I may either bring the camper, or just car camp it.

sounds like a good plan coming together. What coms are you planning to run? I’m in process of getting mine installed at the moment. Don’t have HAM license, but have handheld HAM (so I can listen at least), handheld GMRS (debating ordering midland mxt275 too), as well as i have a cobra 75 CB in...
